Workflow Author

• Type: workflow_author
• Category: Utilities
• Goal: expose the workflow author (owner) as author.* so downstream nodes can reference user metadata (id, name, email).

Output

The node outputs an author object:

• author.id
• author.name
• author.email
• author.is_system

Security (safe-by-default)

In whitelabel setups, admin-owned (“system”) workflows may be visible to end-users. To avoid leaking admin user data, this node sanitizes the output for non-admin users when the workflow is considered a system workflow:

• author.id becomes null
• author.email becomes null
• author.name becomes "System"
• author.is_system becomes true

This makes the behavior safe across the entire flow: if a user connects a Data Viewer or a Send Webhook downstream, the sensitive author fields are never present in the payload.

Notes

• This node has no input handle and a single output handle.
• It has no configuration besides the standard node label and description.
